Has anybody audited to make sure that the script itself is free of
bash-isms?

I somehow had an impression that in the past it was littered with
bash-isms like function local variables and array variables and
assumed that the #!/bin/bash was necessary.  I did a quick
eyeballing and did not see anything glaringly bash-only, but I may
have missed something (the coding style is so different from the
core part of Git Porcelains and distracting for me to efficiently
do a good job of scanning).
